Officially accepted to Athens Tech Commercial Truck Driving Course

I forgot to mention this. Called Auto Zone today and the lady that is supposed to be the one to talk to about taking/hiring new graduates was not in at the moment. Left a message for her to call me. That was this morning. Never heard back from her all day. I will try and call her again tomorrow. Hope that was not a bad sign?

 

Well I went to the neuro doctor yesterday and he had no problem giving me the all clear to drive so got the official letter from him and sent it over to Superior Carriers. The guy I have been talking to there said he would be out the rest of the week so it may be Friday before I find out anything meaning a yey or ney. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping for the best. Really would like to go work for these guys.

I have a couple more applications out just in case I am not able to proceed with Superior. I put one in with SNI tanker division. They called me back within an hour. Got the skinny on their compensation. Sounds decent if they can keep me busy. Put another in with Arnold Transportation. They are looking the application over and are suppose to call me in the next day or two. I will get all the info about them when they call. I put one in with Auto Zone. I will call and check on that in the next day or so. I may go ahead and put one in with Watkins Shepard as well.

Right now it is a waiting game with my first choice. So we shall see. Will update as soon as I know something. Until then....

 

Don't worry, I am definitely holding out for Superior. I pray it works out for me, really. I agree with you 100%.

I believe Auto Zone has both. I see day cabs and sleeper trucks running up and down I-85. I would want to do OTR with them.

 

Hoping for some good news tomorrow with Superior or at least some kind of news anyways. Terminal Manager should be back tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Put another application in today with Groendyke. They take recent grads. Got a confirmation email saying they are looking my app over.

I will wind up somewhere, just not sure where yet!

 

Well this is what I get for being totally honest (not that I could have hid my back injury). Things are not looking good for Superior Carriers. First safety guy was not too fond of my back injury even though I have a letter of clearance from my surgeon. My information has now been passed on to the safety manager for review. Trying to stay positive until I know a final answer. Am I going to keep getting turned down for this??? If I never told anyone, they would never know it by watching me walk, climb, run, etc. This is kind of depressing...
